Acoustic folk duo The Civil Wars have officially decided to call it a day following some tumultuous times and an indefinite hiatus. Both John Paul White and Joy Williams have individual projects for fans to follow coming soon. You can read the bands statement regarding the split below:

Acoustic folk duo The Civil Wars have returned with their highly anticipated, self-titled follow-up to breakthrough album, ‘Barton Hollow’. It’s a release that has a lot to live up to, not just because of the success of the prior record, but because it’s the first release since Joy Williams and John Paul White have returned from hiatus citing irreconcilable differences. Thankfully, they have returned and have really developed their sound. However, this development has shifted them perhaps too far away from The Civil Wars that stormed to the top back in 2011.

Grammy Award winning duo The Civil Wars have announced details of their sophomore self-titled record, which is slated for a August 5th 2013 on Columbia Records. You can view the album artwork and tracklisting below:

Fans of acoustic music, listen up: it’s with some hesitance that I bring to you potentially your new favourite band, if not then they’ll be pretty damn close. Comprised of John Paul White and Joy Williams, The Civil Wars were set to take the world by storm. Their previous full-length release, ‘Barton Hollow’, hit number one in the iTunes chart and allowed them to tour the world. Their reputation is only improved when you discover their free-to-download live recording, entitled ‘Live At Eddies Attic’, and let me reassure you the latest offering ‘Poison & Wine’ doesn’t disappoint.
